a great prof who cares
He is the bast
YES HE IS VERY COOL AND NICE MAN I LIKE THE WAY WHAT HE TEACHES
No Comments
He made classes interesting
Highly Intelligent- Most exceptional professor that I have ever had at Edinboro.
one of the best, very understanding&goes out of his way to help U out
Very helpful towards older students returning to college.
What is wrong with his eyes? Why do they water all the time?! Very unfair teacher. Can't believe all the good comments.
I don't understand this either, I do not enjoy his class at all. His assignments are left broad but he is very critical of what you do turn in.
In my opinion, and I did well in his class, he tried to get by on trying to be nice to us.
At first I thought he was rude, but then I gave him a chance. He is very understanding and will help you on ANYTHING. Pretty awesome...keep it up Dr. Holderer!
nice guy, lots of stories... but too many papers per semester (7)... not too hard of a class though... just make sure you're ready to write!
Nice guy, bought us pizza. Likes to tell stories.
Creepy!!! Although an intelligent professor, he needs to learn not to harrass students on a personal level.
A REALLY COOL, SEXY DUDE. TAKE HIM!
Tells a lot of stories. Some good, some not so good. Doesn't appreciate typing while teaching.
Very nice guy. Always there to help you when you need it.
SMILE!
Will tell you one thing to write in your paper, like not using contractions in your paper, but then he uses them in teaching. Talks to much about stories that have no relavace to the class. But the class was easy.
very unclear, hard to understand, will take your paper pretend to read it and then say its okay, the next day when you hand it in he'll point out a million mistakes. I had to rewrite a paper 8 times before getting a 85. Be prepared to write a lot.
I think he is a great teacher. I learned a lot from him, he is very patient and will always take the time to help you. He does sometimes tell you one thing and then tell you something different the next but if you tell him he'll ok it.
He is a sweet guy! You gotta love someone with a sense of humor. And he takes this site seriously! LOL.
Take him for tech writing. It's pretty easy and you'll learn something along the way.
Good ol' Dr. Bob! He's a good guy and will bend over backwards to give you the help you need.
he's a real great prof he is willing to help you and is very understanding he likes for you to smile and is kind and he wants to help you to get a good grade he is really good i sujest you take him he isn't hot but he is good
Very rude.
vey fun
Every student should take technical writing, especially from Dr. Holderer. Whether it is engineering or fine art, he will teach you how to write good resumes, cover letters, memos and proposals. Very computer savvy. These skills are a must for ANY job!
Adolescent lit is the best. Holderer is a great teacher and know what you will need for a job in education. I am taking him again next semester for ENGL525 - composition theory. A must take professor.
I WISH THERE WERE MORE PROFS. LIKE DR. HOLDERERHE CARES ABOUT STUDENTS
Great teacher.
If you want to learn with ease, no homework ever, no quizes or exams, and get some good and helpful information about the Univerisity take Dr. Holderer you will not be disappointed. Advise: come to class, do the assignments in class and it will be an easy A, plus he might test you out of Eng 101
If you want a good nap take any one of his classes.
Had Dr. Holderer for Composition Theory (a new class for English Education majors) this semester. All I can say is WOW. The knowledge and assignments we did this semester will make getting a job that much easier. This is a must take course and professor.
Just too basic. Why does he drone on and on and on and on and on and on and on. If that bored you then you've experienced his class already! How can anyone be this boring? What is wrong with him? I think someone should've told him to retire years ago. This isn't 3rd grade English class. I REALLY wanted to learn COLLEGE ENGLISH!

oh my god!this class is so boring.He drones on and on and on. Very easy A. be prepared to fall asleep. take some caffiene pills before class, you are going to need them
very helpful. cares about helping students both in and out of class. may be a bit boring, but a great Prof. all around
I think Dr. Holderer is a great teacher. He is willing to help any student that is willing to help themselves. Don't expect him to know you are struggling ask him. He is very kind to those who need help and ask for it. As for those who don't you're fault. He may talk a little to much, but that is besides the point. I recommend him to others.
He's Awsome
EXCELLENT!
Dr.Bob is super. He's very helpful and uderstanding. Dr. Bob ROCKS!!!!!!
Dr. Holderer is very helpful. Great teacher....highly recomended.
Take him, he is awesome i don't think he gives anyone anything lower than a C...He helps everyone out so they can get the best grade that they can!
Well.....I love his teaching, very clear, interesting, helpful for future English, whenever you are in trouble, he is always there to help you out.
great guy. so easy you can redo papers untill u get the grade u want. boring teacher but just bs in class with your classmates. very easy good guy
he is the best professor the enligsh department has. he is funny and can also teach you a lot. a very cool guy.
Very good
Talks about random stuff that has nothing to do with the papers. Gets along with the non-traditional students. Easy, if your work is late make up a excuse he will belive you. Highly recomended. Have a friend go to class to sign you in. He will never know
I loved Dr. Holdere, He is helpful and understanding. I still have his class now and I recommend all freshman that have to take English 010 should take Dr. Holdere........Believe me......
Very helpful and fun to be around. Encourages the best from students. Dr. Robert Holderer for President of the United States!
Very easy class, no due dates just hand in when your done, can have people sign you in, all classes are work session classes, no quiz or test, easy A....just do the work. don't bother buying the book.
He is god of writing classes. I have never been able to write a paper that's like a page long and get an A on it. His class is crazy easy. If you mess up some things on the paper and turn it back in with it corrected, he gives you an A. He is amazing!
great class. :) great teacher :) can't wait till composition theory next semester.
He is a very good professor. He is helpful if you ask questions and he is easy going. His class isnt very interesting, but as long as you do your papers and read the book material, you will be fine. There are 6 papers due throughout the semester.
Makes you write a lot, but it's worth it. He grades easily too, so it's hard to get a bad grade in his class. Good sense of humor, and a nice guy kind of professor.
hot hot hot
He is very inconsistent.
Class is easy just write the paper turn it in whenever he is a very strange man talks about absolutely nothing all class dont listen to him when he talks its a waste of life his eyes are wetery all the time whats with that he hasnt cut his fingernails in five years
Great teacher...really helpful with things...made an 8am class easy to attend!!! Dr. Bob is very easy on deadlines but if you don't attend don't expect to get an A on everything. Makes class interesting and has alot of information to give!! OVERALL GREAT!!
A very clean cut, well dressed man. He puts time and effort into making his class interesting and enjoyable. He does enjoying talking quite a bit, but he also gives students ample time to do their assignments in class. He is very helpful with assignments, and it's very easy to get an A if you do the work and attend class.
Highly recommend! He teaches english. Provides enough time to complete assignments, provides feedback and allows you to resubmit assignments to improve grades.
Dr. Bob is an exceptional professor who genuinely cares about the success of his students. Give your best effort and there is no reason for not getting an A or at worst, a B in his class. Edinboro doesn't realize the passion this man brings to his classes. His knowledge is exceptional. He is not afraid to share his opinion and listen to yours.
Drones on and on. Says a lot but never says anything at all. I love English and writing, the same can not be said about Holderer.
Talks a lot
Dr. Holderer is very nice and is a great professor. He gives you all the chances in the world to get a good grade. If you have a problem with him it's because you aren't working. He really is a great professor. I would highly recommend him.
Overall Greatest Professor in College, He's very helpful. He may talk and make jokes most of class, It was an easy class, Most writing assignments made use of putting everything into context. Take this professor
Nice guy. Paper is assigned on a Monday, rough draft is due the next monday, and final draft due the next monday. Gives you back rough drafts in time to make corrections before handing in final draft. Says he will give you class time to work on papers, but never does. He talks about random stuff and is pretty boring. If you want an easy A, take him
Harmless, dull, uninspiring. He's just punching the clock. You will do well if you follow his vanilla formula, but he is not interested in anything that is creative or innovative. He teaches from the book 100%, never straying. No original thought here. He is your typical mediocre tenured state university professor. SNOOZE!
Dr. H is a great guy! He may go off on tangents from time to time but you can tell he really cares about his students. He assigns topics that are pretty easy to write about and gives you 2 weeks to complete them, which in my opinion is more than enough time! He is always available for help or to answer questions and you can tell he cares.
Great teacher, really creats an independence in the class. If you dont have personal motivation you should not take this class. You will love going to class, he is always warm and inviting.
Very nice man. Talks a lot, but cares about his students. Gives a lot of extra credit. Online quizzes are a breeze, uses email a lot, and assignments are not too difficult. Lets you resubmit your work and has flexible deadlines. No final. You will enjoy his class and learn something.
Took this class online over the summer, best decision I could have made. Dr. Holderer is extremely helpful, extremely understanding, and possibly the nicest, most dedicated professor I have had so far. He gives you many opportunities to succeed . His assignments are thoughtful and not busy-work. I would recommend him to family and friends.
Dr. Bob (as he likes to be called) is a very easy professor. Show up and put minimal effort into his assignments and you'll get an A. He is obsessed with doing things his way though, so be prepared for that. He will tear your work apart 3 times before just giving you an A in the end.
He blathers on forever but I do really like him. He's a genuinely nice guy who cares about his students. It's an easy A because most of the templates are online, you just need to follow the examples he gives. The only thing I don't like is that he tells everyone something different. He does give lots of chances for corrections, though.
Dr. Bob is one of the best professors that I will ever have in college. He truly cared about my writing and how I was doing as a person. He will tell you so many stories, but he uses them as examples to help you as much as possible. I really loved his class.
plenty of time to get your work done
